Thank you, Joy, for keeping these threads going! You are doing a wonderful job! And I know what you mean about them contributing to your success. That's exactly how I feel about them, and I can't wait to get started with all of you in August!

I don't get it, I work my butt off almost every day and the bleepin scale won't move. I eat right, I track every bit of food that goes in my mouth and yet the scale won't move. It's been two months of me trying to get from 172.4 to 160. WHAT'S HAPPENING!!!!

It just doesn't add up--1200 minutes of exercise should be more than enough to drop 5 pounds in a month--not to mention eating right. I'm annoyed.

Kaitie9399: yay for losing more than 2 pounds! I had lots of weeks where I averaged a half pound a week. It's not a very dramatic rate of loss, but I got there eventually.
For me, it isn't until the exercise is up at about 1800 minutes a month or more that it's obvious that it's contributing to my loss.
